Surgical pearls

From my favourite surgical podcast Behind The Knife

"Don't ever take training in a country that forces you to limit your time in the hospital with patients to 80 hours a week" -dr. Kenneth Mattox-

Surgical Pearls #2

"While you may know that this is a terrible injury and go 'boy i hope we can fix it', it is incredibly important for the operating surgeon, the person who is the captain of the ship, to not loose composure. I think when things are really in trouble, that is the time when you can't yell, CAN'T YELL. Because most people don't perceive being yelled at as a good time and would prefer to not have it happen again. So now they are terribly anxiety ridden and much more likely to make a mistake" -dr. Thomas Scalea- From Behind The Knife Episode 117: The Boss of Shock Trauma, dr. Thomas Scalea
